I feel like I'm in beautiful Vana'diel, having fun and exciting adventures with my friends.

On topic, though, I agree that the best way to diminish the presence of the RMT/Mercs/Botters is to never use any of their services, zero tolerance mode.

And to encourage new players to actually play the game by the game's rules, to make friends, to team up, to overcome difficult challenges by working hard, etc.

And to understand that NPCs don't initiate trades.
